Screed with drying accelerator

How many sqm do you have? My screed layer wanted to charge an extra €6.5/sqm. He says that we can save 4 weeks. I asked him about the quality. He says it is even better.

We also had screed with accelerator, but the screed program was still not skipped. It ran for about 3-4 weeks. The floor coverings were only applied after that. I would be cautious with covering after a few days. I am not an expert, but you really don't want the stress if it comes back up later (?)

That's why the residual moisture is measured before laying. With us, the heating protocol was significantly shorter than without the accelerator. We actually saved a month's rent. I only remember that one month's rent was higher than the surcharge for the accelerator. The residual moisture measurement was included in the surcharge. Without the accelerator, we would have had to pay for it separately. So despite the surcharge, we saved money and were able to move a week before the start of school.

He means that we can save 4 weeks.

What do you have as the standard drying time until ready for covering? To me, the flat-rate surcharge does not seem so expensive at first if you reduce from 4 weeks to a few days.

For me, it was cement screed with a standard 7-8 weeks. With accelerator from estrich4 (dot)com I shortened it for almost 1000€ extra to 3-4 weeks. According to the datasheet of the accelerator (Quickup N) it is ready for covering after: 5,7,13,20 days depending on the amount.
